Rall Wines
About Rall Wines
Donovan Rall has established an enviable reputation as one of South Africa’s most talented winemakers. Cutting his teeth in New Zealand, the Rhône Valley and, finally, with the Sadie Family, his time at the latter was instrumental to Rall's current understanding of the diverse terroir of this expansive region.
In 2008, Donovan Rall set out on his own, creating his eponymous winery – Rall Wines. As was to be expected, it didn’t take him long to capture the interest of numerous leading wine critics. In fact, Donovan’s very first wine in 2008 already garnered a five-star rating from the Platter’s Wine Guide.
Today, his winery, touted as “one of the most consistent” in the country, is rated as a “First Growth” in Tim Atkin’s Cape Classification System.

Tim Atkin MW (95)Donovan Rall only used the first pick for this stunning Piekenierskloof Grenache Blanc in 2020, fermenting and ageing it in a combination of concrete eggs and amphoras. It's a salty, complex, dialled back white with notes of gunflint, wild herbs and greengage and high-altitude minerality and precision. |

Vinous (94)The 2020 Red Blend is 100% whole bunch matured in old French oak. It has a lovely, quite bold and expressive, succulent dark cherry and cassis-tinged bouquet that bursts from the glass. The palate is the ripest of Rall's portfolio with grippy tannins that frame the layered dark berry fruit laced with white pepper and black tea. Nicely proportioned and very persistent on the finish. Excellent. |

Tim Atkin MW (96)The Swartland and Stellenbosch are the twin sources of this consistently outstanding white blend from Donovan Rall, made from a cuvée of Chenin Blanc with 32% Verdelho and a splash of Viognier. Nuanced, understated and focused, with wax, lanolin and aniseed top notes and a palate of citrus, pear and peach skin. Taut and refreshing. |
